Overview of Widgets

The Dashboard is comprised of speed dials and widgets. Speed dials allow you to establish links to KAStrack Documents, Forms, and even URLs, so that you can easily access desired webpages (including webpages outside of the KAStrack system). Widgets highlight module summaries or charts representing report information.

A detailed explanation of speed dials, module summary widgets and chart widgets is provided in the tables below.

Speed Dial Explanation Table

·       Speed dials are a dashboard feature used to add relevant quick links to frequently needed Documents, Forms, and websites.

·       Speed dials can be displayed three ways: in a horizontal row at the top of a screen, a floating expandable icon, and as a widget.

·       Speed dials cannot be dragged and dropped to reorder them. Instead, they display in the order in which they are pinned to a Dashboard. To change their order, simply unpin and re-add them in the order you wish to have them display.

Placement Options

·       A speed dial with a top placement shows immediately under the page header.

·       The vertical three dot icon opens a context menu with the options to edit or unpin.

Widget

·       A speed dial with widget placement will show within the grid of module summaries and charts.

·       The vertical three dot icon opens a context menu with the options to edit or unpin.

 

Module Summary Widget Explanation Table

·       Module Summaries are widgets that summarize all relevant and time sensitive information within specific modules and present it in a condensed format.

·       The widget header in bold identifies the Module being summarized. The first number to the right of the header indicates the number of outstanding or past due actions/ tasks / documents, etc. relevant to the user. If the user is a supervisor/admin, the second number (in parentheses) shows the total number of outstanding actions for the supervisor/admin plus that of all users that report to the supervisor/admin.

·       The vertical three dot icon opens a context menu with the singular option to Unpin. Note: On a mobile device accessing the web version of KAStrack, additional options will show in the context menu, allowing the user to rearrange the ordering of the widgets within the widget grid.
